The temperature on the tarmac must have been infernal: There was no problem with the camera/lens, see below: Both are 100% crops. Contrast is low, but thats due to lightening condition and maybe cheap lens...
Can you see the pilot?: This is flight AK232 to unknown photographer on my left. Coming in at 120 mp/h,clear runway and duck! Over. Cabin crew prepare for landing!
If you have pics making you feal the heat, feel free to add!
